Interview
About 70 million people worldwide are chronically infected with the hepatitis C virus (HCV). Possible consequences include hepatitis, cirrhosis and liver cancer, but the disease often remains undetected for long periods of time. Thomas Pietschmann of the TWINCORE in Hannover investigates the virus and works on the development of a vaccine that could prevent HCV infections in the future.

Story
Among all the hospital germs, Gram-negative bacteria are particularly difficult to treat: Many antibiotics fail due to the double-cell membrane. But cystobactamides are providing hope for a remedy – substances from the extensive collection of bacteria held by the HZI. These bacteria are going to be further developed into drugs in a partnership with the pharmaceutical company Evotec.

The Global Antibiotic Research and Development Partnership (GARDP) is partnering with Calibr, the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI), in particular its location Helmholtz-Institute for Pharmaceutical Research Saarland (HIPS), and the University of Queensland’s (UQ) Community for Open Antimicrobial Drug Discovery (CO-ADD) in its efforts to develop and ensure new antibiotics are globally available to all patients who need them. The agreement allows GARDP to access and test Calibr’s ReFRAME compound library and HIPS natural products library. Both libraries will be screened by CO-ADD to discover novel compounds or combinations of drugs that will kill the priority pathogens identified by the WHO in critical need for research and development of new antibiotics.
